Summary

Q: Has tradition and culture any part in a religious life?

The word ‘religion’ means to gather – gather all your energy to inquire into what is truth and reality, if there is an end to sorrow, and into what is love, and whether one can live without any effort and control.

You can only find what life is, which may be eternal, or nonsensical, or extraordinary, when you understand your daily living and the beauty of life.

Why does the brain form habits, which is tradition, whether it is ten days old or ten thousand years old?

The brain can only function in security. Is there such security?

Will you throw away your illusions, your habits, because you see the reason, the logical consequence of forming habits?
